Well, people have already put the right command to use in ~/.mailcap,
so why not just use that?

Also, I want to make it so that hitting RET on the MIME button invokes
Netscape (or whatever was specified in ~/.mailcap) automatically, with
no added fuss.

My experience is that a lot of people want this behavior: for each
text/html part, they see a button, and clicking this button invokes
Netscape (or whatever).  Therefore, we should make it easy for people
to get this behavior.  (Well, de-installing W3 would be easy but
surely that's not the right approach.)
